About the certification process

Once you have completed all the modules of your course, the next step to achieving certification is passing the examination process. Note that the DIY HIT course doesn’t provide certification and therefore, there are no exams to complete.

The final exam for the MPT, PT and CPD courses consist of three parts:

The first step is a questionnaire.

This is in a similar format to the quizzes you get at the end of every module. You can take this, as many times as you want until you achieve the score you are happy with. The minimum acceptable score is 75%.

The second step is submission of your practical video thesis.

Here you will demonstrate your understanding of the course by instructing an individual through a full workout. This will be scored out of 100.

The third step is a video-interview with Simon or another HITuni member.

Here you will discuss your video thesis in detail and be asked questions relating to aspects of your course. This will, also, be scored out of 100.

Successful completion a certification-level course, requires the achievement of an average of at least 75% on all three parts of the exam.

If you are unsuccessful in your first attempt, you will be asked to submit a written essay or re-submit your video thesis.

You can print your own certificate directly from your dashboard, this feature will be unlocked once you have successfully completed all parts of the certification process.
